2007 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · BT56 KZR

The Volkswagen Caddy passed its most recent MOT on 21 August 2025 at 147,962 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend shows a clean bill of health at the latest examination, though the preceding months revealed administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle moved from two consecutive failures in March and June 2025 to a pass in August 2025, indicating the issues were resolved without recorded defects carried forward. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,787 miles per year against the 19-year-old vehicle's 147,962 recorded miles, a typical accumulation for this age of light commercial. The records show 142,079 miles on 4 March 2024 and 147,950 miles by 11 March 2025, a modest 5,871-mile gain over twelve months. Sparse test data between 2023 and 2025 gives limited visibility, but the clean pass results in 2023 and 2024 suggest steady use with no flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. The March 2025 failure at 147,950 miles and June 2025 failure at 147,958 miles recorded no defects, pointing to documentation or identification discrepancies rather than worn tyres or binding calipers. A buyer should still verify the V5C logbook, VIN plate, and engine number in person, since the DVSA system closed both tests without mechanical cause. Given the age, inspect coil springs, exhaust emissions, and underbody for corrosion that a no-defect pass may not capture in brief notation. No recurring mechanical pattern emerges from the history. The August 2025 pass with zero advisories implies the prior owner addressed whatever halted the earlier tests. Given 147,962 miles on original-era components, examine drivetrain mounts and brake line condition before purchase.
